We never want to fail especially if we are doing something important. Failing is not all bad however, as it can be a great learning experience for you and others. A lot of people who discovered something didn’t do it overnight. They knew they would fail and set themselves up to get through their failure and grow. Experience failure doesn’t mean you should give up, but rather, you should use that to learn something about the failed venture.
